Как грустно ! Видимо это написано в самый печальные дни жизни Эдварда ! А они были ! Всем известно, не получалось родить детей ! Вернее, смерть ребенка, всё отражено в его музыке ! Гениальный ! Единственный и неповторимый !! ❤

I appreciate the criticism of this performance in its nuances (where are Grieg's dynamics?), but, given that there doesn't even appear to be a complete performance of the Suite on YouTube, an Andante is most welcome!
